Neighboring rights are separate from music publishing rights. They represent ownership of a recording and who were the performers/instrumentalists on a recording. The revenue is generated from international radio stations like Pandora and SiriusXM.

Songtrust does not currently collect neighboring rights, and we encourage you to sign up with SoundExchange in addition to Songtrust.
